Pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 7 have been the strongest of any Galaxy device, early reports are indicating. Samsung’s new flagship phablet was announced on August 2 and, with pre-orders hitting 200,000 since launch day, this puts the Note 7 at double the number of pre-orders for the Galaxy S7 after the same time period after launch.
The news comes courtesy of the Korea Herald, reporting that this is a sales record for Samsung. We aren’t completely surprised, considering we found it to be an overall impressive phone in our hands-on review. One of the reasons for the strong sales, according to the Korea Herald, is that Samsung marketed the Note 7 aggressively. However, this is nothing new – the South Korean manufacturer splashes out for the launch of every flagship device.

There are some perks that buyers of the Note 7 also get which probably contribute to the strong sales. These include a Gear Fit 2 fitness band, worth $177, thrown in for free, along with half-price repair costs for broken displays. If that wasn’t enough, there’s even a $90 gift card that can be used at the Samsung Pay Mall.
This is a crucial time of year for Samsung. With its second flagship of 2016 now on the market, it’s almost iPhone time. iPhone 7 time, to be exact. It’s important for Samsung to generate as much hype and sell as many phones as possible before Apple releases its new iPhones, with end-of-year sales for the US brand consuming the lion’s share of all smartphones across the industry.
